    OUCH! That is painful to look at! There is a good reason that car was deemed unrepairable. IF the drive train was not damaged (which seems unlikely) that car is going to cost WAY more to fix than just buying a decent used one. SO SAD TO SEE! I would love someone to bring it back to life, but I can't imagine the work needed to do so!

    I agree that it looks like CA Azzurro. Not that it matters any more :( And it was a six-speed, too!

    My 03 Maserati Coupe was Azzurro California and that was a beautiful color! Looks like that one is the same as well.

    I've seen one almost identical to this at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo, but with lower miles (I'm fairly sure it's a different car).

    I'm trying to remember the name of that blue-- was it Pozzi?

    Anyway, it's very sharp looking.

    Thanks for the responses, it seems theres a concensus its Azzurro California.

    Donv, I believe Pozi is a deep blue, not as blue as TDF though. I really really like this color combo on this car. I feel that it wouldnt work as well on the 550/575 however.

    Not at all. I love how when a smashed up ferrari shows up on ebay how the seller says something to the effect of " oh this is a simple fix" or "You just need a new bumper, etc." For a normal car sure, it might be worth fixing up. THis car is just looking for someone with really deep pockets and really wants that car color/transmission/etc, someone really dumb, or a combination of the two.

    disclaimer: I have/had no interest in buying this car; I was jsut curious to what color it was.

    How common is this color on the 456?

    Looks like grigio alloy in some of the pics, but azzuro california in others. I have a grigio alloy 456M, but I'm not convinced that this one is the exact same color, looks slightly darker to me. Sad sight none the less. This is my '03 456M, grigio alloy w/ navy interior.

    Isn't the Enzo supposed to have black perforated grills on either side of the rear window???

    It's more of a mesh grille than anything with perforations (a la the Modena). Here's a close up of another Enzo - you can see the mesh - but from far away, it's not easily seen.

    Yes, that is what I was looking for. Is it in place on that Grigio Alloy one and you just can't see it or is it missing?

    It's there, just not visible; here's a higher resolution close-up.
